516 OCTOBER 18 & 19, 1865 NEVADA TRANSCRIPT
DIED. At Little York, on the 16th inst. Caleb Remmington [sic] aged 40 years. The funeral will take
place from C. W. Remmington’s residence, Little York, on Thursday afternoon, at . o’clock.
A PIONEER GONE.—Caleb Remmington [sic], one of the oldest settlers of this county, died at the
residence of his brother at Little York, on last Monday night. Mr. Remmington mined for many years at
Remmington Hill. He has had consumption for several years, and for a long time previous to his death
was unable to leave the house.
CANDIDATES.—The following persons are candidates, in the various townships, for the office of
Justice of the Peace, to be voted for today. The contest is bound to be lively and a very heavy vote will be
polled:
Nevada Township—J. C. Palmer, E. W. Smith, John Kendall, John Hawke, Alonzo Brown, John
Williams.
Grass Valley Township—E. W. Roberts, W. S. Byrne, E. W. Maslin, Wm. Smith, Richard Dowd, M. P.
O’Connor.
Rough & Ready Township—E. L. Melbourne, William Currans.
Washington Township—D. Crittenden, Hiram Cochran, F. F. Patterson, Amos Root, J. E. Jones, Lee
Garthey.
Little York Township—R. McGoun, A. P. Schutt.
Eureka Township—John McKinney, Cyrus Hoisington.
Bridgeport Township—Moses F. Hoit, George Newell.
THE NEW POST OFFICE.—The new Post Office has been completed and the mails will be
distributed there for the first time today. We doubt if there is a neater or more convenient office in the
State. The general delivery is nearest the door and will be opened from 8 o’clock AM. to 7 P.M. Then
come two hundred and thirty-four glass boxes which rent for $1 per quarter. Under these are fifteen
convenient drawers which are worth $2 per quarter. Farther back are fifty lock boxes which rent for $1
50 each. Below these are arranged boxes for the newspapers, book dealers and expressmen. An excellent
counter has also been fitted up for transacting business of the money order system. Frank Guild has
displayed great taste in the arrangement of his office and deserves credit for it.
“BEER JERKERS” VS FIREMEN.—A short time since the Grass Valley Firemen were called
out by the cry of fire. They turned on the water where the first light was discovered, and as it happened,
“washed out” a “Beer Jerker” establishment. A day or two since a warrant was sworn out before Judge
Smith in this city for the arrest of about twenty of the Firemen, including the Chief Engineer. They are
ordered to appear before Judge Smith for examination on next Friday.
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1865
